DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following refers to the drawings to describe the embodiment of the present invention in details.

First Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 2, the packaging structure of the instant embodiment comprises a carrying part 10, for carrying a panel device, such as, liquid crystal module, and a packaging part 20, disposed surrounding the carry part 10. The carrying part 10 further comprises a plurality of bases 16 and patch 30 connected to the bottom of the bases 16. Two adjacent bases 16 form a vertical trench 15 with depth reaching the patch 30. Each base 16 is disposed with a plurality of horizontally penetrating stuck slots 14. The packaging part 20 at least comprises a pair of clampers 21. The clampers 21 clamp horizontally on two side parts 12 of the carrying part.

For the convenience of processing, the carrying part 10 is manufactured as foldable. In other words, the bottom of the base 16 of the carrying part 10 is wrapped by the flexible patch 30. The patch 30 can be made of materials, such as, PP hollow board or corrugated paper, and the base 16 can be made of material, such as, foam or bubbles. The bases 16 are connected only by the patch 30. Because of the flexibility of the patch 30, the base 16 and the trench 15 can be turned over or folded in any angle to enable convenient manufacturing and processing of the carrying part 10, as well as reduce the use of material.

For example, also referring to FIG. 3, processing from the front side of the buffering material with the patch 30 at the back side to form stuck slot 14, trench 15 and base 16. The depth of the trench 15 reaches the patch 30. In the instant embodiment, to realize the ability to fold, the thickness n of the base 16 at the two outermost ends of the carrying part 10 is less than or equal to the width m of the adjacent trench 15, i.e., n≦m. In the instant embodiment, n is preferably equal to m. As such, the two bases 16 at the outermost ends of the carrying part can be folded 90° upwards to become perpendicular to the bases at the bottom 13. The first side part 11 is embedded into the adjacent trench 15 to fit the base 16 adjacent to the bottom 13. After folding, the carrying part 10 forms a concave shape to realize the effect of clamping the liquid crystal module on the two sides and the bottom. This processing technique has the advantage of manufacturing carrying part 10 for different sizes of liquid crystal module. Compared to the non-foldable monolithic packaging structure, the foldable structure is simpler and saves the material. For further convenience of placing liquid crystal module, the edge of the stuck slot 14 can be manufactured as arc.

Referring to FIG. 2, the clampers 21 can be engaged to the carrying part 10 through the means of glue, rivet or buckle. The purpose is to allow the clampers 21 to clamp stably on the carrying part 10 to ensure the carrying part 10 maintains the shape to carry the carried device.

For further convenience of installation and transportation, the clampers 21 are disposed with a plurality of holes 22, for example, two holes 22 are disposed on the clampers 21 symmetrically.

Second Embodiment

The instant embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that, as shown in FIG. 4, the edges 23 of each clamper 21 extend in a direction towards the other clamper 21. Each clamper 21 can have three edges 23 (upper edge, right edge and left edge) or all four edges 23 extending. The extending edge 23 can get stuck on the second side part 12 and top of the carrying part 1 so as to fix the shape of the carrying part and enhance the protection to the carried device.

As such, the extending edges 23 of the clamper 21 can be engaged to the second side part 12 of the carrying part 10 through the means of glue, rivet or buckle. The edges 23 can further press against the carrying part to steady the carrying part so that the carrying part will not be deformed.

The remaining structure of the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment, and the description can refer to the first embodiment.
